HOPX (Homeodomain-only protein) gene has various synonyms including HOD, HOP, OB1, LAGY and NECC1. The protein encoded by this gene is an unusual homeodomain protein that lacks certain conserved residues required for DNA binding. HOPX has diverse effects on cardiac growth. Manipulation of Hopx function in murine models is associated with cardiac hypertrophy, dilation and fibrosis. HOPX protein acts as an antagonist to the serum response factor (SRF), which regulates the opposing processes of cell proliferation and differentiation. Overexpression of HOPX causes cardiac hypertrophy. HOPX protein can inhibit SRF-dependent transcriptional activation by recruiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity.
